You should use a unique nodename for your exchange TSM instance. Kick off the tdpexc gui select the restore tab. You should be prompted for your password. Enter it then it will be saved in the client registry.
To set up a properly scheduled exchange backup job you must first create the schedule and use the action of command. Then on the exchange side create the cmd file that launches your backup. Here is an example. Here is the schedule on the TSM server Policy Domain Name: STANDARD Schedule Name: EXCHANGE_ADMIN_1 Description: Corporate Administrative Exchange Backup Schedule 1 Action: Command Options: Objects: c:\excfull.cmd Priority: 5 Start Date/Time: 02/07/01 16:30:00 Duration: 2 Hour(s) Schedule Style: Classic Period: 1 Day(s) Day of Week: Any Month: Day of Month: Week of Month: Expiration: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 12/30/05 10:13:34 Managing profile: Here is a part of the cmd file on the Exchange server. tdpexcc backup * full /tsmoptfile=dsm.opt /logfile=excfull.log We give all our exhange TDP servers unique names on the TSM server.ie. Servername_exch. Associate the unique name to the schedule on the TSM server. Then create the scheduler service using the unique name you are using for your TDP server. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of goc Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:53 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: tdp for mail/EXCH scheduler question ! hi, thanks for quick answer but how does DSMCAD know what schedule shout it handle ? does "TDP" serivce has to be in stopped/manual state ? oh, so many questions ... :-) thanks goran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henrik Wahlstedt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 10:45 AM Subject: Re: tdp for mail/EXCH scheduler question ! Hi The scheduler service is a BA client function, so are the Dsmcad.
